LAW INTELLIGENCE—This Day, COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (B2fore. Mr Commissioner Fane.) IN IIE TIGIiE, This bankrupt was described as of Richmond-terrace, Clapham-road, gentleman, and sometime of the Queen's Hotel, Liverpool, and Carter-street, Manchester. The debts amount to about £1,000; no assets, and the debts are generally for goods and money borrowed, and some bills for renewals of debts under a formar insolvency. Mr Aldridge said that the case bad been before the Court since September, 1832, and there had been several adjourn inmate ; but the bankrupt was now in attendance. Mr E, Reed opposed on behalf of two creditors, and said that the bankrupt had obtained adjourn ments on the pre tenco that he was endeavouring to arrange with the cre ditors. He (Mr Reed) had now to ask for an adjournment, sine die, without protection. There was also opposition on behalf of several other creditors; but His Honour adjourned the case, sine die, without pro tection. IN RE BRANDON AND NOAH. These bankrupts were described as of Abchurch-lane and Lawrence Pountney-lane, wine merchants, and this was a meeting on application for discharge. The debts are stated at £59,902. To creditors on consignment, £26,317 ; less property consigned, £23,424 ; creditors holding secu rity, £2,725; liabilities on shares, £225; ditto on bills dis counted, £1,070; ditto bills payable, £4,044; creditor by good debts, £2,273; doubtful £225; property given up, £2 445 ; ditto in the hands of creditors, £2,097 ; deficiency, £26,508. Ar. Read, for the assignees, opposed, and Mr. Sargood and Mr Brough for the bankruits. . . The opposition was that some of the debts had been con tracted without reasonable or probable ground for expecte tation of being able to pay, and, secondly, that the bank rupts had entered into rash and hazardous speculations. The case was not called on till 1 o'clock, and is likely to occupy the remainder of the day. HONEY MARKET AND COMMEIWIAL INTELLIGENCE, CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK: The terms for first-class bills in the general dis count market remain without alteration. The directors of the Bank of England have also re frained from making any change in their minimum quotation, and the market, although not inactive, presents a somewhat quiet appearance. It is be lieved that when the forthcoming Stock Exchange settlement shall have been completed the demand for discount purposes will have been considerably lessened, and the public may look forward for some nbstantial concessions at the hands of the autho rities. About £106,000 in gold was taken into the Bank yesterday. The Agincourt, from Melbourne, has arrived with £12,588. The committee of tha Stock Exchange have ap pointed Monday next for a special settlement of the scrip of the Russian Anglo-Dutch Five per Cent. Loan, and Wednesday for the Silvers Indiarubber Works and Telegraph Cable Company, both to be officially marked. The directors of the London and South Western Bank (Limited) have resolved to issue rateably to the proprietors the additional 5,000 shares, as authorised by the articles of association, at a pre. 'llium of £2 102. per share. The directors of the Scottish and Universal Finance Bank have concluded arrangements with Messrs. Hoggard and Co., bankers and bullion merchants, of 85 and 86, Cheapside, by which the whole of their bnsiness and connection is transferred to the bank. One of the firm will join the board. The success which has already followed upon the exertions and management of the Alliance National Land, Building, and Investment Society has led the directors of the company, with a view to the still farther development of the scheme, to invite subscriptions on easy terms towards a first capital of £lO,OOO, in £lO shares, under the limited liabi lity act. The gentlemen forming the direction of the Alliance Company are most of them well known, and are some of them eminently prac tical men, They seek to extend over the United Kingdom, further than they have done already, branches of an association in which small sums may be deposited on good security, and which will at the same time produce a satisfactory rate of inte rest to the small capitalist so investing his savings. They appear to have invented, moreover, in some sort an original plan by which the small trades man or artizan, by a monthly payment (as in an ordinary building society), may accomplish this— viz., by tha issue of £25 debentures, payable by 2s. 6d. monthly instalments, upon which compound interest at the rate of 5 per cent. is allowed. The com pany also undertakes to receive deposits at 5 per cent. It undertakes, in a word, to afford a safe and profit able opportunity for investment to small capitalists. As indicative of the fair prospects before this asso. ciation the capital stock is now said to be in such demand as to command a small premium. While, in evidence of the manner in which it has already been taken up in the sister kingdom, we may call the attention of investors to the fact that since January 1, 1864, the sum of £16,000 sterling has been advanced on first-class securities, and upwards of 7,000 shares and debentures have been taken up. Mortgages for more than £40,000 are in course of completion, and the company now consists of upwards of 1,500 share and debentura holders. The Mercantile Credit Association have notified the terms of arrangement with the Imperial Finan cial Company, assented to by the respective boards, subject to the confirmation of the shareholders. The union is to take place on the Ist June, under the title of the Imperial Mercantile Credit Association, Limited, each company dividing its profits up to that date. The capital of the amalgamated com pany to consist of 100,000 shares of £5O each ; 50,000 shares to be allotted to the shareholders of the Mercantile Credit Association, Limited, at £1 premium, in proportion to their holdings (that is five for every two shares) in that association, and the remaining 50,000 shares to the shareholders of the Imperial Financial Company, Limited, at premium, in addition to the £5 already paid, in proportion to their holdings (that is share for share) in that company. In the issue of 50,000 shares to the shareholders of the Mercantile Credit, the £5 already paid on the 20,000 shares will be placed to their credit. The capital of the Imperial Mer cantile Credit Association, Limited, will then stand thus :-100,000 shares of £5O, £5 deposit and £1 premium, £5,000,000 capital, £500,000 paid up, and £lOO,OOO reserve. The last week's rahway receipts, ascertained up to this day, are, in round figures, as under 1864. 1863.

ASSAULTING WITH INTENT, &C. John Cole was indicted for feloniously wounding Thomas Jones with intent to do him some grievous bodily harm. There was also another indictment against him, charging him with being found at night in the dwelling-house of the said Thomas Jones with intent to commit a felony. The prosecutor, a licensed victualler, said he kept the Ship publichouse in the Kent-road, and the prisoner had formerly been in his service as potman, but had been dismissed his service in consequence of his abrupt manner to the customers. On the night of the 16th of April he (witness) was fastening up the house at about half-past 12, and, as was his usual custom, he was examin ing the house to see that it was free from guests. Having looked into the taproom and parlour, he proceeded down to the cellar with a lighted candle, and as soon as he entered the place he heard some one coming down stairs. He left the light below, and as he was proceeding to the bar he re ceived four blows from a life preserver in the face and on the head. He could not see who had inflicted the injury upon him, but he went into the bar and there he saw the prisoner with whom he immediately closed, and a violent struggle took place. He succeeded in getting the life pre server away, but the prisoner then attempted to strangle him ; but, failing in ;this, he took up a five gallon cask and deliberately let it fall on the prosecutor's head as he was lying on the floor. The prosecutor then got up and made his way to the kitchen, but from excessive loss of blood he became for a short time nearly insensible, which prevented him from again engaging with the prisoner. He called out for assistance, and when he entered the bar again he found his wife standing there, and a policeman was also in attendance. Search eras then made for the prisoner, who was eventually discovered under the club-room table. The wifo of the prosecutor corroborated her husband's evidence. Two police constables stated the circumstances under which they found the prisoner in the club room of the pro secutor's house, Another constable proved the finding of a life•preserver in the bar parlour of the Ship publichouse. When the charge against the prisoner was read over to him on its being entered at the station• house, a constable said he replied, " It's no me denying it, I shall say no mere." The jury had noc. - given their verdict when wo went to press. THIRD COURT, The warder at the Houie of Correction, Tiptaff, who was tried last session on a charge of compounding a felony by the offer of £5O to one of the witnesses in the case of Minnie Wilson to abscond, was called up for sentence. The Coma--on Sergeant sentenced him to one month's imprisonment with hard labour. Liverpool Cotton Market —This Day, Market quiet. Extreme rates not obtainable. Sales perhaps about 8,000 bales.

Her Majesty's Journey to Scotland, The necessary railway arrangements have now ben concluded for her Majesty's trip to Scotland, and the Queen and the royal family, attended by the various members of the Court, will leave Windsor Castle fur Balmoral tomorrow evening, at a quarter to seven o'clock. The royal train, consisting of London and North Western carriages, will leave the Windsor station of the Lireat Western Railway at 6.50 p.m., and travel via the latter line, passing Oxford at 8.12 p.m:, and Leamington at 9.28, arriving at the Bushbury Junction of the Lon don and North Western Railway at 10,45 p.m., having performed a distance of 127 i miles. Whit. more, 1551 miles, will be reached at 11.40 p.m.; Preston, 196 - miles, at 12.54 a.m. ; Carlisle, 308 miles (whence the train passes along the Caledonian line), at 4.12 a.m.; and Perth, 459; miles, on Saturday morning, at 8.40 a.m. Here the royal train will stop an hour, and resume the journey at 9.40, along the Scottish North Eastern Railway to Aberdeen, 5491 miles, which will be reached at 12,21 p.m. From the latter place the route lies over the Deeside Railway to Aboyne, 582 miles from Windsor, where her Majesty will arrive at 1.32 p.m. The rest .)f the journey to Balmoral will be performed by road. The journey throughout from Windsor to Balmoral, upwards of 600 riles, will only occupy about 20 hours. The Prince and Princess of Wales. The Prince and Princess of Wales took a carriage drive yesterday afternoon. His Royal Highness visited the Grand Duchess of Mecklenburg-Strelitz at St. James's Palace. His Excellency the Prince de la Tour d'Auvergne entertained a distinguished party at dinner yesterday, at Albert gate House. The circle comprised his Excellency the Marquis d'Azeglio, the Earl and Countess of Shaftes bury and Lady Victoria Ashley, Viscount and Viscountess Bury, Lord and Lady Duffelin, Lady Molesworth, the Right lion. Sir Robert and Lady Emily Peel, Mr. Alfred and Miss do Rothschild, the Marquis and Marchioness de Cadore, Viscount de Contades, Viscount de Courval, Count de Montmarin, and Count de Virel. The Duke and Duchess of Athole contemplate a long residence in Canada, where the noble duke is doing duty with his battalion of tho Guards. The Dike and Duchess of Richmond have issued cards fora grand dinner on the 27th inst. ;.ITne Duke of Newcastle is better. His grace of late has derived much benefit from tranquil nights, and has regained much of his lost strength. The Marquis of Ailesbury is recovering from his recent indisposition, which prevented his lordship attending at Court. The Marquis and Marchioness Trivulzio have arrived at the Clarendon Hotel from Milan. The Countess Dowager of Glasgow and Miss Catherine Sinclair have arrived at 18, Cheshana-place, for the season. Viscount Palmerston is much better. There is no doubt but that the noble lord will be able in a few days to resume his duties at his official residence. The Baron and Baroness Beck-Friis have arrived at the Queen's Hotel, Upper Norwood. We understand that the marriage of Lady Con stance Villiere, eldest daughter of the Earl and Countess of Clarendon, and Captain the Hon. Frederick Stanley, youngest son of the Ehrl and Countess of Derby, will take place at the end of this or early in the ensuing month. The precise day is not yet fixed. The nuptials of the Hon. Lucy Lyttelton, second daughter of Lord Lyttelton, and Maid of Honour to the Queen, with Lord Frederick Cavendish, second son of the Duke of Cavendish, will take place next month, ST, JAMES'S THEATRE. THE FOX CHASE. With respect to the "new and original comedy" produced at the St. James's Theatre last night, we give the following opinions of some of our contem poraries : (From the limes.) We confine ourselves at present to the record of the fact that Mr. Dion Boucicault's new piece, to " Fox Chase," was brought out last night with success. (Front the Daily News.) The actors all did their work very well, and suc ceeded in quieting the hisses of the pit ; but that such a piece should have been compiled, bought, paid for, produced, and tolerated, speaks badly for that love of dramatic art of which we hear so much and see Ro little. (From the Morning Post.) The plot has been elaborated with many addi tional complications which, notwithstanding their marvellous incredibility, found such favour with the audience that the malcontents were gradually silenced, and nothing but applause was heard on the fall of the curtain. LYCEUM THEATRE.—The extraordinary prepara tions being made at this establishment to give ade quate effect to the new and extensive scenery with which " Hamlet " will be illustrated, under Mr. Pechter's super vision, have compelled the postponement of its production for a week, and Saturday, May 21, is now announced to be the evening when the curiosity of the public will be gratified. DRURY.LANE THEATRE.—Mr. Edmund Fal coner, whose claims upon the patronage of the pub lic are universally admitted, and who, in conjunction with Mr. Chatterton, has conducted the national theatre in a manner that has given the fullest satisfaction to all play goers, announces his benefit for Saturday next. The per formances will consist of the historical play of "Henry 1V.," a miscellaneous concert, in which many artists of high ability will take part, and other attractive entertain ments. COTTON SUPPLY ASSOCIATION.—At the :usual weekly meeting of the Executive Committee, held on Tuesday last, a sample of good useful cotton grown on Clarence River, New South Wales, was submitted for exa mination. A letter was received from a party of emigrants about to proceed to Queensland, with the intention of en tering upon the cultivation of cotton on a somewhat ex tended scale, and requesting to be supplied with informa tion, and a variety of seed suited to their purpose, which were granted. Details were received of a plan for growing cotton at Grenada, West Indies, where land suitable for its cultivation can be obtained on easy terms t and where labour is abundant and cheap. From the specimen produced of the kind of cotton grown on the island, there can be no doubt that well conducted efforts would be successful and remu nerative. A letter was read stating that it is intended to make experiments in cotton cultivation in the south of Spain and requesting to be furnished with the necessary instruc tions, and with such a variety of seeds as may be suitable for that climate. A letter was received describing some of the causes which have made the West Coast of Africa less prolific as a source of cotton supply than was expected. The increased production up to 1859, in which year 3,447 bales were received, had excited sanguine hope that larger quan tities would oontinue to bo received, but the imports have since fallen off, and seem now to have entirely ceased. This is attributable to the wars now raging:between neighbour ing tribes, which have been continued for several years, and i n consequence of which trade with the interior has been wholly obstructed. It is stated that thousands of bales of cotton, together with other British property ; are now lying useless and suffering much injury at Abbeokuta, the trans port of which is prevented not only by the interrupted com munication both by road and river between Abbeokuta and the British colony of Lagos, but also by the stoppage through the feuds of adjacent tribes, of the ancient road from Ibadan to Ikorodu, and thence direct to Lagos. The Rev. Samuel Crowther, now in this country, and others, state that the Ibadans are anxious to trade direct with the merchants of Lagos, and have a right of road to Ikorodu, with which town the people of Lagos have also a similar right of communication. It was resolved to present a me morial to the Colonial •cffice, praying the Government to take such steps as may be practicable for the immediate removal of the obstructions to trade which now exist, and for the speedy release of the cotton and other property at present locked up at Abbeokuta and elsewhere. This con cluded the business of the meeting, which was then ad journed for a fortnight. SALISBURY RACES-THIS DAY.] BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH, SALISBURY STAKES.

KIDNAPPING IN THE UNITED STATES. The Earl of ELLENBOROUGH drew the attention of the noble earl the Secretary for Foreign Affairs to the kid napping of subjects of her Majesty in New York for the purpose of enlisting in the army of the United States. It was a subject of very serious moment, because men were compelled to take up arms in America without the slightest disposition on their part for such a pur pose. The persons kidnapped were mostly sailors, and one case had occurred in which a surgeon sent a sailor on shore to get a bath. He was inveigled to a place where he ur as drugged, and he was not allowed to come to himself until his ship had sailed, and then he found himself dressed in the Uuited States uniform. He could not suppose her Majesty's Government was igoorant of the proceedings, and he wished to ask what step had been taken to protect her Majesty's subjects from such a monstrous system. Eail RUSSELL said that the bounty paid by the United States Government fur each man enlisted was as much as 600 dollars, and unfortunately this was an induce ment to unprincipled persons to drug or otherwise keep in their possession sailors or other persons until they coulel get them to enlist, and thus profit by the bounty. He was sorry to say that although Lord Lyons had complained to the American authorities, he had not yet received any satisfac tory statement on the subject. It was the intention of her Majesty's Government to make the strongest remonstrance possible in order to put an end to the disgraceful practice alluded to, REGISTRATION OF COUNTY VOTERS (IRE- L AND) BILL.

AGRARIAN OU IMAGES IN IRELAND. The Marquis of WESTMEATH moved that an humble address be presented to her Majesty for a copy of any me morial received by the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland or the Irish Government, framed for the release of Michael Degan, Patrick Degan, and Patrick Egan, three prisoners confined in the county gaol of Weatmeath, convicted at the Summer Aysizes of HU of agrarian offences, or any of them, and of any written communication forwarding the same and recommending their enlargement to the Irish Government. (I.EFT SITTING.) HOUSE OF COMMONS—This Evening. The SPEAKER took the chair at 4 o'clock. PRIVATE BUSINESS.

THE AFFAIRS OF DENMARK. Mr, BRIGHT presented a petition from the Birmingham Committee on Foreign Affairs, praying the house to refuse its sanction to any act having reference to the affairs of Denmark based on the treaty of 1852: RIOTS IN EDINBURGH. In reply to Mr. CAIRD, The LORD ADVOCATE said that there had been much exaggeration relative to the riots that had taken place inEdinburgh,arising out of the sale and seizure of furniture under the name of a police rate under an act passed in 1860, levied to pay the stipend of the city clergy. There was no intention to make any alteration in the existing law. THE TRAFFIC AT PARK-LANE. Gon. BUCKLEY asked whether some means could not be adopted to prevent the dangerous traffic that exists at Park-lane into Piccadilly? Mr. COWPER said that two policemen had been placed in the neighbourhood to prevent as far as they could any danger arising from the excess of traffic in Park-lane, which was all that could be done at present. Gen. BUCKLEY said he had spoken to a policeman on the spot, and he said he had no orders. Mr. COWPER said the only real plan was to widen Park-land or to make a new street through Hamilton place, He (Mr. Cowper) had nothing to do with the pro perty, as it did not belong to the Crown. Application should be made to the Board of Works.: Gen. BUC.K LEY then addressed his question to the Secretary of the Home Department. Sir G. GREY said he was not the representative of the Metropolitan Board of Works. (A. laugh, and cries of "Divide.") Mr. TITE said he had no right to speak authoritatively, but as a member of the Board of Works, he might state that the subject was under the consideration of the board, who would do all in their power to remove the present ob•. struccion.

Mr. TORRENS asked the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, when the correspondence (Class A) with the British commissioners at Sierra Leone, Havana, the Cape of Good Hope, New York, and Loanda, with the reports of British naval officers relative to the slave trade, and the correspondence (class B), with British ministers in foreign countries, and foreign ministers in England on the same subject, would be laid upon the Mr. LAYARD sa id h e h o p e d h e wou ld b e a bl e to have the documents in question re a dy on th e d a y after the meet . ing of Parliament. table. NIGHT SCHOLARS. Mr. \V. E. FORSTER asked the Vice-President of the Committee of Council on Education, whether any instruc tions had been issued by the committee demanding si x t y attendances from night scholars, before examination for capitation grant, instead of 24 attendances, the number fixed in Art. 40 of the Revised Code.

Admiralty whether it was true that the Iron Plat e C ommittee were about to terminate their la bours ; and, if so, whether the TTRAECIYRO asked PLATEthr S , ;et Admiralty would have any objection to lay the report o their proceedings on the' able of the house,. Lord C. PAGET said the committee, as soon as they had t erm inated their inquiry, would c ease t o ex i st. There would be no objection to lay their reports on the table, but as there woulel be four bulky volumes, with sketches, lae would lay half a dozen copies in the library for inspectio p, and if Mr. IVIIALLEY asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department, with reference to the instructions to the police as to public meetings in the parks, whether he con• ciders such instructions justify the suppression of public meetings other than such as may be held on a Sunday.
